    Summary: "Barbara Cady interviews Thomas Sanchez, author of Zoot suit murders, a novel which takes place during turbulent times in the early 1940s of Los Angeles, when young Chicanos clashed, culturally and physically, with police and the military. Sanchez discusses his novel and Latino life in Los Angeles during the first half of the century and particularly during World War II."--Program notes.

    In order to examine the seasonal changes in the relationship between the membrane potential and potassium activity of proximal tubular epithelium, a micropuncture study was performed with potassium selective microelectrodes on the kidney of the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) in two different seasons: winter (7 degrees C) and summer (20 degrees C). The potasssium activity in winter animals (7 degrees C) was 2.92 +/- 0.33 (mean +/- S.D., n = 20), 63.2 +/- 12.7 (n = 26), and 2.68 +/- 0.19 (n = 26) mM for the tubular fluid, cell, and plasma, whereas that in summer animals (20 degrees C) was 2.84 +/- 0.05 (n = 22), 61.8 +/- 11.2 (n = 24), 2.63 +/- 0.24 (n = 24) mM, respectively, indicating no seasonal difference. On the other hand, the mean values of the membrane PD in winter animals were 59.4 +/- 1.8 (n = 26) and 71.7 "/- 7.2 (n = 26) mV for the luminal and peritubular borders, whereas those in summer animals were 55.1 +/- 1.7 (n = 24) and 63.9 +/- 6.9 (n = 24) mV, respectivley, indicating that there was a significant seasonal difference (p less than 0.05 and p less than 0.001). Hence, compared to winter animals, the changes in the electrochemical profile for potassium in summer animals were: 1) the peritubular membrane PD is lower and 2) the transtubular electrochemical gradient is less steep. The sodium permeability calculated as the best fitting for a modified Goldman equation was 0.01 and 0.03 for winter and summer animals, respectively. In view of the fact the potassium in the cell and luminal fluid of the proximal tubule is kept at similar levels, potassium homeostasis is maintained in both groups of animals. The seasonal changes in electrical potentials are probably be due to an increase of cellular membrane permeability to ions other than potassium and to increased paracellular shunt conductance through the epithelium.
